El Poblado 
retire overseasCommonly known as the wealthy neighborhood in Medellin, or estrato 6. Here, the rich or most of the wealth is centralized here in Medellin; old and new money live here. This zone of Medellin is where the tourist district is also located. All the hip restaurants, hotels, and trendy stores are located.

El Poblado has it all, schools, malls, restaurants, commerce, and good transportation (but not by car, if you drive, you will be stuck in traffic). El Poblado, in the lower part by the money belt, is very walkable, with a bicycle path along with the Avenida las vegas in the Poblado part, is beautiful, I will be posting some pictures of the zone for you to admire this place.

El Poblado has three high-end malls, El Tesoro, in the upper part of El Poblado, is challenging to get there by transit transportation, but taxis are economical. Oviedo is one of the country’s oldest malls; right across the street from it, you can also find Santa Fe.

It also has a trendy party zone called El Parque Lleras. All I have to say about it is that don’t go there.

Let me know if you want more information about el Poblado. Also this site apartamentosenventaenelpoblado.com is all about poblado

Laureles

retiring overseas militaryI always thought Laureles was just that area surrounding La UPB, but that is not the case. Laureles is, in fact, huge! I learned that because of our real estate site (for local customers) about apartments in Laureles for sale. So when I started putting together the information for that site, I was like, wow, Laureles is massive. Wow. There is a little neighborhood within Laureles called Laureles, and that is funny.
Laureles is lucky to be 100% in the flat part of Medellin. The one disadvantage is that the views from balconies are not great if that is what you want. Simple, other than that. You don’t need a car. You can walk or ride a bike everywhere. It is effortless to do in this part of the city.

It has a slightly cooler medium-temperate climate, not necessarily cold, but cooler. It is only 45 minutes from Medellín and is rural and charming. Full of what I call country mansions.
